I am deeply disappointed in Bill and Hillary Clinton. I admired these
people for going through what they went through for 10 years. I felt they were good, honorable people who had the interests of all people at heart. I know they care, I know they're compassionate and deeply motivated to do the right thing. I've seen it. I've heard them speak, I've seen their records.
However, thy pretty much could have saved the world from the bush regime. Had these two people, two of the most admired politicians IN THE WORLD and of our time, simply stood and pointed at the bush regime, had they not sat dumb and without critique; had they not sold out, there may not have been a war in Iraq.
I don't blame them solely, I don't. I don't. But I am so disappointed when someone with so much power in their voice, such passion for the work they've done, sits silent for reasons unfathomable.
If at any time in the past 5 years Bill Clinton had been a harsh critic of the bush regime, and his wife too, people would have listened and rallied to their side by the MILLIONS. But Bill never has given our opposition to the invasion of iraq his approval. Instead, he's chosen to side with the bad guy, instead of the will of the people.
We could use a hero right now. We have a few. There are a good number of very brave and well appreciated critics of the bush regime, thank goodness. And know what? They're not dead. They still get elected, they still hold office. Senator Clinton would have been just fine had she spoken against the bush regime.
So why did they sell us out, I have to wonder? Why haven't they had the courage to take a strong, public position against the treason of the bush regime? What do they know that we don't?
See, Bill Clinton was the voice of a generation. He gave us hope for the future. We wanted the world he envisioned. We had common ideals with this man, and suddenly, it all went away?
Can anyone guess what happened? Can anyone explain to me why he chose to side with the bush regime and what he is to gain from it?
